I soldered LED Light strips to my hotswap board
I only did one strip which had 8 LEDs
I decided I was going to wire one more strip of 8. So I connected another strip using 3 wires as an extension to get the desired position. After a lot of back and forth.
Nothing worked, the 2nd strip never turned on.
Frustrated enough, I decided to redo the whole thing, make one long strip of 16 LEDs, soldered it all together, when I finally turned it on, only 8 of them lit up.
Not only that if I moved the strip around they would turn off until I unplugged and turned it back on. (Not sure if I have a bad solder, I'm still new to soldering)
But my question is, why is this PCB only allowing 8 LEDS?
I know its not the strip it self, because I cut multiple different strips to test out different things. It just wouldn't allow more than 8.
I tried a different USB cable, but I don't think that is the issue.
This has been quite frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.
